 Tix has actually been included since Python 2.2!

Wow! I only noticed it coz I was browsing the module index for 
something
else, but knew Tix from my TCl programming days. I took a look and 
sure
enough it was the same thing.

 The IDE Studio and SpecTix look interesting.

SpecTix is an enhancement of the older SpecTcl which I used when I
did Tcl GUI programming. Its quite easy to use although in common
with mamy such tools the code it produces is not particularly pretty.

I've never tried IDE Studio...

But there are still no *python* docs. The Tcl docs are very confusing.

It's very easy to write a servlet in Jython, Jython ships with Java wrapper 
class that will load a Jython servlet and delegate to it. A nice dynamic way to 
develop a web site is to use Jython servlets as controllers and your favorite 
template engine (I like Velocity) for the views. Should work with a type-2 JSP 
setup as well. And some of the Java web frameworks have done some work to allow 
actions to be written in Jython.

Its not the beans/servlet side that's beating me, its the JSP 
magic
tags stuff. The only web programming I've done has been boring
old CGI and JSP requires me to turn my brain inside out...

But an awful lot of magic happens with these mysterious tags.
I'm working through the NetBeans tutorials and also JSP for
Dummies(!!). But now I have to go on a 4 day business trip
so I'll forget half what I've learned! :-(

[Tutor] New GUI module

2005-09-03 Thread Alan G
I haven't seen this mentioned on the list, but has anyone else noticed
that v2.4 now includes the Tix GUI library in addition to Tkinter. Tix
is a collection of more advanced Tk widgets (trees, tables etc) 
similar
in many ways to PMW.

Just in case its useful to anyone.

Alan,

Thanks for the pointer, I never noticed that either. But looking back, Tix has 
actually been included since Python 2.2! It was not listed in the What's New 
document for that release so it was easy to miss. It *was* listed in the What's 
New for Python 2.3; not as a new module but as receiving various bug fixes and 
updates.

Module index for Python 2.2.3: http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/modindex.html
What's new for Python 2.2.3: 
http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/whatsnew/whatsnew22.html
What's new for Python 2.3.5: 
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/whatsnew/node18.html

Has anyone here played with the TixApps on this site:
http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/

The IDE Studio and SpecTix look interesting.

Kent
